Canon Vixia HF200 Camcorder - Black

I changed to a Canon from a 5 year old Sony. Love THIS Camcorder. Have not yet downloaded movies to computer and have to say I'm a bit intimidated about it, but overall I think this camera is great. I have the wide angle lens(extra piece) and can't take it off, love the depth and width of shots. Camcorder/camera performs wonderfully, easy to hold, light-weight enough while still feeling like your holding a well-made electronic. I purchased based on reviews of sound quality being high for novice users, and absolutely agree!! You can hear every word our 3 yr old says and the babel of little sis too. Wanted to be able to capture the signature vocal moments of our kids and this camera perform in both image and sound. Would highly recommend to a friend and well I would recommend to someone I wasn't friends with too!!

I bought this camcorder for general purposes and so far, it has blown me away with its picture quality. The camera does exceptionally well in daylight conditions; however, in low light conditions, the camera performs okay. This camera has shutter speed as well as aperture options which would come in handy when dealing with low light levels. I once filmed an indoor Christmas concert in low light conditions and the camcorder was able to capture all the highlights and detail. This camcorder has a good microphone with the option to attenuate the sound. The battery life isn't the best, but you can always buy a better, longer lasting battery. Overall, good picture quality, great sound quality, and with a bit of tweaking, good low light performance. The menu is easy to use and is user friendly. Great camera for what it's worth.

Without a doubt one of the best cameras out. i enjoy the vast settings and low light configurations. All the best of a canon T2i-T3i within a camcorder.

This is a really great camcorder!! I am going on a vacation soon and I can not wait to use this camera!!
It has excellent picture quality and the HD is amazing!!
Highly recommend this camera.

Great little camcorder that performs well in most conditions. Battery life is Ok but you will need more than 1 for an all day event.
The biggest disappointment is that it will not recognize a class 10 sdhc card as shipped. The firmware has to be updated and that can't be done by the consumer, only by a service center.
